Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

RNA was long considered DNA’s boring biochemical relative. Researchers thought it merely takes the genetic information stored ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi—microorganisms that—if actually present in tumor tissues—could influence how they ...

In a spectacular bit of science, a group of scientists has sequenced the DNA from the femur of a man who died 45,000 years ago. The femur they studied is over 20 times older than this 2000 year old ...

“We’re only just beginning to understand the full majesty of life on Earth,” wrote the founding members of the Earth BioGenome Project in 2018. The ambitious project raised eyebrows when first ...
